Understanding Gradients in LightWave

Gradients in LightWave go beyond simply fading one color into another. While gradients can be used to alter all aspects of a surface’s shading, they can also be used to control an object’s displacement, particle effects, FiberFX and more.

In this course, D.W. Burman unlocks the power of LightWave’s gradient systems by demonstrating all of the various gradient types found in LightWave and by showing example scenes that use gradients. This course starts at a fairly basic level, but is geared toward people who have some experience using LightWave.

The focus of this course is on demonstrating features and how my test scenes are set up. These are not primarily project-based tutorials. There are step-by-step instructions in some of the videos, but that is not the primary form of teaching in this title.
